Our members sit at the intersection of tech and journalism, and we know how damaging irresponsible AI can be. It’s why we fought so hard for the AI protections we have in our contract. Proud to support our editorial coworkers and journalists across the industry in their fight against AI slop.

Politico & E&E News journalists won a landmark arbitration case after management rolled out AI tools w/out bargaining. The ruling affirms employers can’t use AI to bypass union rights or newsroom ethics, & The NewsGuild-CWA is urging support for its News, Not Slop campaign.

Management loves to look for loopholes, but we know their games and won’t back down from protecting the rights of our members. ✊💪

@nytimes.com management tried to side-step our contract by offering low-ball severance offers in disciplinary meetings with our members. We filed a grievance and WON. ✊🎉

Severance offers have to go through the Guild now, giving our members agency and support in bargaining a fair deal.
December 3, 2025 at 9:37 PM
So incredibly important to bring collective action to this work. We're standing with you! ✊❤️
Today, hundreds of workers at Environmental Defense Fund announced the launch of EDF Together — the largest environmental union in the US. We’re asking EDF to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can begin building a better EDF, together. Learn more: edftogether.org

We WON that case. The neutral arbiter said AI may generate content more quickly than a human can write, but that's no substitute for critical safeguards like fact-checking. 7/

A union contract is the only way we can stop these systemic problems that have been making Starbucks worse year-after-year. It would only cost the company less than a day's worth of sales to put fair pay, fair scheduling, and strong protections in writing through a contract.
